The first new insight that I found comes from supporting innovation in this field, this is one of the key ingredients: policy, funding, and professional environments that support experimentation and entrepreneurial investment in new ideas. The second idea or insight that I gained from this website was the importance of precision and how it can help target issues and what the goals of fixing those issues are. The most important thing I learned from this is that precision includes clarity. The final insight that I learned is that a community helps connect people.

Globally I looked more into Canada, I found it interesting that that just had two key mandates which are

1. supporting research in early brain and biological development, mental health, and addiction, and
2. translating that research for policymakers, healthcare communities, and the general public.

My favorite things that I learned from exploring Canada more was that they are connecting science and policies by translating it into easy to understand ways for us. One issue with all this scientific research for the early childhood field is that most preschool teachers don’t know how to read the research papers or that they have simply forgotten because they don’t read research papers every day. I like that through the Alberta Family Wellness Initiative, Canada is able to do this.
